Two Weddings.


Two OF Clarksville's leading young
men on last Monday led to the altar
two of the reigning bellies of our sister
city Hopkinsville. The parties to these
unions where Mr.. r. Cook Roach, O:
Roach & Bro, and Miss Lou G. Reed;
and Mr.. Alex War6eld and Miss Sallie
B. Wood. The ceremony in each in
stance was performed by Rev. ]. w.
Lewis. Both of these gentlemen are
splendid representatives of the young
manhood of Montgomery county.
The ladies were the chiefest jewels in
Christian county's coronet OF woman
hood. We welcome them gladly, and
hope that many more such ties between
us and Hopkinsville may be formed
provided we, as in this case, come of
first best. The New Era makes the
comment:
